Female Therapists in Southwest Ada, Boise, ID

Life moves fast and sometime we can’t keep up. Sometimes we don’t feel like we can talk to others for fear of judgment. Do you feel overwhelmed? Do you withdraw and shut down when you are struggling? Do you have thoughts come at you a mile a minute? Do those same thoughts take off into uncharted territory? It’s not uncommon, and you don’t have to feel that way forever. You might not have the tools to sort out or process these emotions. Maybe you know some skills, and are unsure how to or when to use them. These are just a few reasons why people seek therapy and I provide a supportive, non-judgmental and encouraging environment.

My ideal client is someone navigating anxiety, chronic stress, or significant life transitions. They may be highly sensitive individuals seeking support in managing their emotions and finding balance. Their needs include a safe, compassionate space to explore their challenges and develop coping strategies. They aim to enhance their emotional well-being, achieve financial wellness, and embrace their sensitivity as a strength. Ultimately, they want to feel empowered, grounded, and confident in their ability to navigate life's complexities, fostering a deeper mind-body connection for overall health and fulfillment.

I believe there is hope for you, no matter what you are struggling with, or how intense your suffering is. I am dedicated to providing compassionate and evidenced-based treatments that empower people to learn, grow, and heal.

Hello! I'm Cassidy Deshazer, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker rooted in Boise, Idaho. I'm honored to walk alongside you on your journey to a more enriching and fulfilling life.

Therapy is more than just sessions – it's a journey we embark on together. I believe in forging a therapeutic relationship built on trust, empathy, and understanding.

Relationships are the string that narrates our life story together. Often, we forget the most important relationship is the one with yourself.

My office is a non-judgmental space that allows us to work on anything that hinders you from an optimal life.

People seek therapy for many reasons, but most people have one common goal: change. They want a change in how they feel, think, behave or in how they are treated. They want to be truly heard, understood and validated by someone who won't judge or criticize them. They want to heal from their past and feel hopeful about their future. This is exactly what I strive to provide to every client. I’ve helped clients with various presenting concerns including: anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, trauma, relationship and family issues, panic attacks, grief, self-harm, stress and more.

Hello, I am glad that you're here. My name is Chelsea, I earned a Bachelors and Masters Degree in Social Work from Boise State University. My focus of study during my Masters degree has been around anxiety, depression and addiction. From my previous internships I worked with social workers to help veterans secure housing, emotional and mental stability and locate internal and community resources. My training allowed me many hours of clinical experience working along side highly skilled counselors and providers to help individuals struggling with addiction and trauma. Additionally, I’ve worked with children and families.

Hello! My name is Annys Rose. I am a dynamic, creative, motivated, and empathetic person who strives to help others work towards a happier and healthier life. Using a personalized and collaborative approach to counseling, knowing that everyone has their unique personalities, goals, and experiences. Primarily I work with adolescents (12-18 years) and adults in the areas of grief, attachment, trauma, depression, anxiety, developmental and behavioral disorders (ex: Autism,EBD, etc.) among other life challenges; employing multiple techniques, which allows me to understand, communicate, and promote change for each individual.

Welcome! I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) as well as a nationally certified counselor (NCC) in the state of Idaho. I am passionate about holistically partnering with clients on their journey towards growth and healing in a way that respects the whole person. My style is warm and genuine as I work with individuals to process through past traumas, navigate current challenges, identify and set healthy boundaries, replace negative belief systems, heal ostracized parts of themselves, and find new ways to better manage their mental health.

Not accepting new clients for mental health.. Are you a teen or young adult or in a place in your life where you are trying to figure who you are as an individual, finding your voice, struggling with peer/school pressure, and social media. Or an individual that finds boundary setting as you are transitioning from being under your parents to being an adult difficult or just boundary setting with those in your life. You want to get there but don't know how, lets work together and identify your values and beliefs, what's important to you and learn some skills for better follow through and helping you learn to have healthy habits.

I have been at this for a long time and I feel that people know what's best and what they want for themselves, but they don't know how to get there at times. They need help, support and confidence in themselves to get there. There are so many variables that get in the way including various forms of abuse, mental health issues, family problems and drug and alcohol issues. I love to help clients work through these issues and concerns to help them restore confidence in themselves and be able to trust their own decisions. Most of all they deserve to look forward to their future!

Soul Sage is the practice of neuro-somatic healing, breath work, embodiment, psycho-therapy, shadow and narrative journaling, meditation, and building rituals of connection. Céleste leans into transformation to transcend the patterns of thought and behavior that perpetuate dissonance and the imposition of self-misidentification, self-doubt, compassion fatigue, and stress. Celeste works with you through self-discovery and by excavating the deepest parts of self that sustain connection and compassion.

Figuring out you need extra guidance can be difficult to come to terms with. In a society where we are constantly hustling and bustling around to make ends meet, we often put our self care and mental/emotional hygiene on the back burner until it becomes a mess. Mental health is important in making sure all aspects of wellness support balance. As a therapist, I seek to increase understanding of the self and encourage growth in a non-judgmental and gently nurturing atmosphere. I specialize in treating Trauma, Trafficking, Borderline Personality Disorder, Conduct Disorder, Relationships, Anxiety, Depression.

Currently accepting new clients...Take what the game gives you, my dad always said… that is the number one mantra and peace of advice that has resonated with me during the swells and swallows this ocean of life has to offer. And like all humble humans, I believe growth, learning, and love are the foundations for change. I believe if we take what the game of life gives us, and can cope and adapt at whatever is thrown our way, we will have made it to our highest and truest potential.

I worked as a social worker in Child Welfare for 21 years helping families and children work through issues of abuse and neglect to improve their relationships. Prior to that I worked doing couples and individual counseling. Earlier in my career, I also taught elementary school and worked in a group home. I believe in using therapy to empower individuals to find mental and emotional well-being and increased quality of life. I am a lifelong learned who loves to research the newest trends in mental and emotional well-being and utilize techniques to help strengthen families, couples, and individuals.

We learn from our world and each other through many ways including love, observation, struggle, and collaboration. My approach embraces the bio-psycho-social model, placing emphasis on what’s “built in” genetically, learned psychologically, and experienced (past and present) environmentally. I use this perspective to understand where people are coming from, meeting them where they are with nonjudgment and acceptance.

We all want to tell our story and be heard. It feels comforting to have a listening ear that will help you find clarity and freedom from overwhelming thoughts and feelings. Counseling is the chance to be vulnerable in a safe place. It is a place to be listened to and heard. It is a place where you can formulate understanding through deep reflection and insight as you share.
